I grew up on the high desert in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I went to school at Grinnell College in Iowa, and was an undergraduate researcher at NIST in Boulder, Colorado. Here in Oregon, I am working on a physics doctorate in Hailin Wang's group. I study the interaction of laser light with tiny semiconductor structures called quantum wells.

When I'm not in the lab, I like to get outside to go running, climbing, and backpacking. I like photography and playing with cameras too. In my free time at home, I conduct personal research on LOLcats, sandwiches, computers, tokyo drifting, and hip hop music.
